abrt and libreport (SL6)

Synopsis: Important: abrt and libreport security update
Issue Date: 2013-01-31
CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-5659
CVE-2012-5660

It was found that the /usr/libexec/abrt-action-install-debuginfo-to-abrt-cache
tool did not sufficiently sanitize its environment variables. This could lead
to Python modules being loaded and run from non-standard directories (such as
/tmp/). A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their privileges to
that of the abrt user. (CVE-2012-5659)

A race condition was found in the way ABRT handled the directories used to
store information about crashes. A local attacker with the privileges of the
abrt user could use this flaw to perform a symbolic link attack, possibly
allowing them to escalate their privileges to root. (CVE-2012-5660)
